Soul Gem Mindscape in Bold Comic Book Style

Inside a side-profile of a person, their head opens like a vault to reveal a surreal mindscape. A radiant soul gem floats at the center where the brain should be, its facets refracting neon blues, purples, and golds. Neural pathways glow and spiral around the gem like city streets beneath a night sky. The scene is drawn in bold comic book style with thick black ink lines, high-contrast shading, halftone dots, and dynamic action lines. An energy aura ripples from the gem, with cosmic dust drifting through the mind. The overall mood is powerful and introspective, as if the gem holds the person's true essence.
